Since I haven't found a solid girl while I've been up in the sticks, I went with a nail tech who came highly recommended by the frame shop owner down the road. Angel's Nails, located in the Main Street Plaza in New Paltz is spacious inside with a tropical beach wallpaper stretched across the back wall and plenty of stations throughout. Lucy, my tech, was patient- but had that touch of diva energy that didn't match the work. There were so many could've-should've-would've thoughts racing through my head, but I didn't even question the $22 for a mani I wasn't at all thrilled with and honestly, not worth it. read more

Very disappointed with my last appointment with Ruby. Earlier that week I was asked if I could move my 4pm appointment so the technician could leave earlier, but I kept the time I had originally booked. When I arrived, I was greeted with a visible frown and immediately confronted about not moving my appointment. I was also told she was about to go home if I didn't show up. The entire service felt rushed and inattentive after that. The final result reflects that. One nail has messy polish and several nails were not fully sealed with top coat, which affects both the appearance and durability of the set. I was still charged full price despite the noticeable issues. Professionalism and consistency matter in the beauty industry, and unfortunately this experience did not reflect that. Definitely not work the trip from Kingston. read more

Kevin was unacceptable and extremely rude to my girlfriend. He was angry when she didn't like the original color and asked to change it. To which, he decided to take it out on her fingers and make them bleed. We will never come back. read more

This is almost a 4 star review and I'll tell you why I couldn't bump it up. We had made reservations for a few of us, and upon entering in they were very disorganized and not on time. Not a problem usually but we were all hoping to sit together and chitchat as we were celebrating a Birthday. Instead, we all sat down at different times and didn't have an opportunity to socialize. Also, the last person in our group wasn't taken until 1 PM so we completely missed our afternoon activities. Also, the nail polishes were completely scattered all over with no rhyme or reason in terms of colors or gel versus non-gel versus quick dry. It was very difficult as somebody coming in for the first time to figure out where to look and what color to pick from the scattered assortment. When I finally had my turn it was a pleasant experience. I sat next to the owner and we chitchatted and I met a fellow patron who has been coming here for years. She said it is the only place she'll come for her gel nails as they are experts. She convinced me to get my first try at a gel polish and I loved it. There is ample parking outside, the salon is quite large so can take a decent group and there is little dog running around inside. It makes for a fun time but they need to really button up on a few of the issues which just knocked this place down completely. read more

I just went with my friends to get our nails done and the next morning my nails started to hurt. After lots of cracking, bleeding, swelling, and discoloration on my finger tips and all around my nail beds, it turns out I have contact dermatitis. Do not go here, they are clearing dirty. I had Jenny as my nail tech and this was my first time here. Very disappointing. $68 for a new acrylic french tip set. read more

this is the second time i've been there and they upsell me AGAIN. How come every time i've been there the price has been 15-20$ more than what was said on the phone. They charged me 5$ more because i had gotten a coffin shape on my acrylics which is ridiculous!??? i've never had that happened where i get charged more for shaping it a certain way!!! the shape wasn't even that good and shaping comes with the service so wtf are they charging for ? last time i'm going there. i would say save the money and don't spend it on this salon. also this business should count their days. read more

This place is not the closest to me but my friend took my 14 yo here for a birthday full set & pedicure. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at how cute her tips were. The shape was great, a large selection of colors & designs and the people were friendly & listened to what we requested. They're 30 min from me but think I g it's worth the trip for good nails! Going back today to see what they can do Update: I went back for my own nails & am thoroughly impressed. They have all the latest styles/techniques! Got my brows waxed also & they did superb! I'm super happy with my shaping & the quality of my set! I'll just have to drive 30 min to New Paltz from now on! read more

I don't normally write reviews, but...I had a regular pedicure. Thought it was $24, but it was a pricy $30 and they add 8% (small hand written sign at checkout when service was already provided) if you use your debit card instead of cash , so it was actually $32 + tip. And although busy this morning, I was only given 1 coat of color with NO top coat applied. No soak longer than 30 seconds or massage. Felt VERY rushed. I had to add a top coat myself when I got home. Disappointing experience. Will NEVER go on a Friday again! read more

Old lady is nasty, angry owner! The girls are lazy and give horrible pedicures! They charge more if you pay with a card so they don't have to pay IRS when you pay with cash! It's a horrible nail salon with incompetent people! Don't waste your money! Stay far away!!!! read more

Kim at Angel Nails always sees my vision and 100% nails it & even makes it better. Never have a problem getting an appointment and the price is always fair. Love going there!! read more

This spot always meets my expectations. There's a good selection of products to choose from. I truly enjoy my monthly pedi here

Relocated to New Paltz from the west coast and thought this would be my new NY nail salon. WRONG! It's all about quantity not quality here. Tried it a few times. My "scheduled" appointments were NEVER honored. Waited up to 40 mins more than once. For gel remover, they soak your nails in full-strength acetone! While my Cali gel manicures strengthened my nails. My nails are weaker than they've ever been from Angel Nails. Although the technicians are pleasant and try to be helpful, the managers/owners are rude and only interested in getting clients in and out as quickly as possible. read more

I've gone to Angel nails twice. Today Jason took care of all of my services and was fantastic. I have thin nails and without my even mentioning it he said he wanted to be careful not to over-file them. My pedicure is great, but my manicure is the best. The shape and length of my ANC powder are perfect, and they aren't at all thick or bulky. He was very conscientious about sanitizing, and talked about how much he values taking his time to develop return customers. He is certainly developing one here. read more

Everyone is always friendly recommend Sophia for any nails designs she does an amazing job my nails always last a super long time .

Finding a decent pedicure in new paltz without spending a fortune is nearly impossible. This place is pretty good (even tho the massage is only 3 minutes long, it's no different than other places that charge more). And some of the technicians are better than others. Plus it's clean. So I do suggest giving them a try! read more

I went here a few times and each time the manicurist tried to upsell me. one time they did gel, which i liked and came back and asked for gel, the guy insisted that i should try the powder, french manicure. i actually was unhappy with it and it ruined my nails. I had to go to another manicurist to fix them and after 3 visits, they finally look nice. So I won't be going back here. read more

I had went to this nail salon exactly a week ago. i had gotten a acrylic gel full set and my friend got a acrylic gel fill. The pricing was fine. I wasn't happy with the way mine turned out. it wasn't what i asked for at all. $37 for my friends and $65 for mine. Kevin did my nails (not sure who did my friends) and the acrylic on my friends nail is just cracking and breaking off (she hasn't banged it on anything). Her nails and also my nails are chipping all over. Also my nails are bumpy I'm highly unsatisfied and so is my friend. read more

The person doing my nails did a fabulous job. However, they did a gel polish without asking me & disregarding the regular polish I had given them as my choice color. Because of this, my bill was $60 instead of the expected $30.... make sure you know exactly what you want when you go. read more

I got my nails done and before the service start I showed him a desired picture: white ombré and asked him if he was able to do that and he nodded yes. Well I asked for a white ombré and he gave me a pinkish "French" because you don't even see an ombré at this point. Then filing my sides pretty close to my cuticle I've told him he was hurting me and he didn't seem to care and nicked me. Well I asked him to stop and he didn't. So after I told him the cut was hurting me please stop the bleeding with the styptic powder he looked at me as he didn't know what I was saying and he dropped a blue liquid on it when I asked what it was he didn't reply back. Well that was a terrible service I won't be coming back. read more

I had a pedicure at Angel Nails two days ago and had a horrible experience. The minute I sat down, the guy started a timer - do they allow only a certain length of time for a pedicure. The guy never spoke a single word to me, never asked me what package I wanted and acted like he better things to do than give me a pedicure. When I was done, the guy disappeared! Now I couldn't wait to get out of there! After sitting in the dryer section and spraying my own nails, I left - only to get home and have a cracked nail and a messed up big toe! read more

went to get a gel manicure w/ designs, called ahead to make an apt to make sure someone was there who did designs and nail art, but when I got there the nail tech was annoyed that I asked for a design and said he'd have to get someone else (which was fine, the other tech tried her best but I wasn't super happy with it). If that was all + just had a weird process of taking off gel and some nails being crooked / cut unevenly, I would be giving 4 or 3 stars, but less than a week later my nails started chipping with the stars popping out of the glue and 2 layers of topcoat?? Now the entire top coat is peeling off - I've been getting my nails done for over a year and never had coats peel off or come out of the gel. Super disappointing and def won't be coming back. read more

I have been to angel nails twice now , first I got a regular manicure which was fine but I went in looking for a gel manicure for halloween and left with a terrible manicure. The gel is extremely uneven, and even though I asked for a square shape every nail has been rounded. When you run your fingers over the nail you can feel the bumps in the gel. From afar it looks pretty okay but it is not at all what I paid for. Also if you want to be taken care of and are looking to be pampered, this is not the place for it. read more

It was my first time here and the guy did a good job but charged me $5 extra for the acrylics I got even though at other places I got the same length (it's a pretty normal length for acrylics). Called this morning to see how much it was to remove the acrylic nails and it was gonna be $10. I'm from Brooklyn and I don't even pay that much there read more

The staff was not friendly. The tub for my pedicure overflowed and completely soaked my shoes. My nail woman's daughter was hanging around during my pedicure and talking very loudly. The woman kept walking away while doing my nails and coming back. Took way longer than necessary and the prices are extreme for crappy service. read more

Kevin does my nails. I'm always happy with the work and patience he had with doing my nail. Always leaving happy and my patrons see my nails are always. Wow I love your nails read more

Screwed it up despite appt me specifying 'full set gels' by telephone the night before. Girl said she was too busy for that today.

Tony did my nails and I absolutely love the time and care he took with my nails. I got a manicure and pedicure for $33. Love the product, definitely going back!!! read more

This place is filthy and terrible customer service and has only ONE certified nail tech (Kim). Everyone else especially the male workers do it for the money and are lazy. so pointed out that the nails weren't the same shape and everyone in there tried to make me feel like I was crazy so I paid but left furious. I did my pedicure here and two weeks later my left toe nail breaks off and I remove the polish and realize a dark spot has developed under my right toe nail that was never there before. This place uses dirty tools. Never going back read more

Angel Nails - Two completely different shapes. - Nail Salons Near Me - New Paltz, New York

Only reason I feel it deserve 1 star is because th e nails lasted for a long time no breaking, but the nail polish started to "rubb" off after about 5 days. And most of my nails were crooked. Don't get me wrong my fingers aren't the straightest, but at least make them go with my fingers so they look natural. And they didn't do the length and gave me attitude when I asked to make them thinner... and said that it would be an extra 5 dollars to do that shape! Never heard that in my life. Do not go here. read more

Could be cleaner and they still use That razor on your feet like it's ok. Don't really care for this nail salon. read more

Finally found a local place where they actually take time to provide a good pedicure service. I was impressed with how detailed the girl was with my toes(unfortunately I didn't get her name). I didn't feel rushed out of the chair. I felt like she really wanted to take care of my feet. For example I've been having pain around my nail and she was able to remove that pressure without me saying a word about it. I appreciate how she took her time doing a good leg and foot massage. I'm glad I did not have to wait since I was just a walk in but I also went on a weekday. Tina was the lady working on someone else sitting next to me and I have to say I was blown away at how well she was taking care of her client. This was my first time coming here and it won't be my last. read more

The man did a very nice job with the shape and polish. Although, he did cut me twice. He was very apologetic. Students get a full acrylic set for 20. I the photo u can see where he cut me with the file. read more

Unprofessional. Insulted my eye lashes because I did not have them done there. She said, "they look old and crusty." I allowed them to wax my eyebrows which I throughly regret. They look horrible. So uneven and she took half my brow off. I am hoping they grow back quick. This is so embarrassing. It also took them 3 hours to do a mani/pedi because they continuously would stop and work on other clients and come back and apologize. Unbelievable. read more

So I went back to give this place a second chance. Now it was extremely busy, but the people took great care of us. I was very angry before but they made it up to me. Very nice, recommend. read more

I did the gel polish. They said that it will last at least two weeks and they are right! It's been 2 week nothing happened. Love it

I thought I made an appointment with Nina. Turns out wrong place but they did not tell. I understand that, they want the business and won't turn down a customer when they are not busy. I realized about halfway through when I saw that my nails were looking lumping and asked the girl her name. She told me Rose. Rose is very nice and she is probably good if you have never gotten dip powder before. As some one who had gotten it for years, I knew what the process should have been like. Unfortunately, I had to asked her to fix them multiple times whether they were crooked, lumpy or just uneven to each other. Rose tried her best to fixed them but did not understand how to. I appreciate that she did show hostility towards me unlike other nail technicians when you asked them to fix something. Eventually, I asked if I could just use the file myself to file the lumps out. The sides are over filed and there is space between my nail and the powder. Out of 10 fingers, I like confidently say that I like three of them. I will not be going back read more

I have been going to Kim and her crew for over 10 years, whether I have a wax, nails or pedi done , they never disappoint, the service is phenomenal and the interaction is great always have a conversation with you while your sitting.

My sisters nails are all different shapes. One of the employees were constantly changing the price of a gel fill in. Another employee was doing my nails and was using a scissor to cut my nails and was poking and hitting the scissor against my hand when he wanted me to flip or change the position of my hand. He nearly stabbed me and I flinched her did not apologize or care at all. I do not recommended this place. I got my full set put on Wednesday and it is now Saturday my nails are already lifting. My nail polish is carelessly put on. read more
